Her time traveling certainly has had an impact on who she is now and her artworks also reflect this freedom.

Her abstract nature paintings are continuing to increase in popularity on Bluethumb - Australia’s largest online Art Gallery - for their beautiful joyful colour palettes and emotional connections with nature.
Amber has also been guest speaker on podcasts and blogs. Exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions. Finalist in the Art Lovers Australia Gallery art prize for 2020, 2019, 2018. She has been featured in Home Design Australia Magazine, Art Edit Magazine and Singapores Business Times.
Ambers artwork is inspired by her love of the impressionist artists (with a modern twist) and how they depicted nature in more simplistic forms whilst observing the effects of light, movement and colours of the landscapes around them.
Her goal when painting is to express the joyful emotions through colour and to display a sense of personal freedom onto the canvas.
She loves connecting with nature and the soft flowing organic shapes and brushwork allows her to feel that natural energy and rawness.
Amber is drawn to the bohemian way of living and thinking and her art imitates this colour loving, free spirit and soul searching path.
Her art incorporates the emotional memories and feelings of all the wonderful places that she has travelled and explored and that she will continue to explore. Being close to nature is something that Amber is drawn to, it creates a sense of inner peace and tranquility when she is present in it.
Painting nature is a form of meditation for Amber, it takes her into a world of being present, feeling true inner joy and contentment. Something that the outside world can often take away from us all. Amber's art studio is her own sanctuary, where her inner passion and true self comes alive.
"I want my art to connect with you, as it does with me, and help bring you happiness in this free spirited adventure that we call life. Become the dreamer, build a happy and fulfilling life, be content on being who you truly are. Don’t feel ashamed of your quirkiness or differences. We are all unique and on different journeys, that to me is what needs to be celebrated and loved, if my art can remind you of this, then I am ‘over the moon’ happy! x "
